Still, Russell Westbrook is the most-controversial player in the NBA. It is only him that would win the MVP Award after only getting his team 47 wins, and the sixth seed in the playoffs. But, Russell Westbrook played out of his mind, in 2017, so he deserved something.

Currently, Russell Westbrook is in Charlotte, with the rest of the NBA All-Stars. This year, Westbrook and Joel Embiid, of the Sixers, are on the same team, and these guys have had beef for years.
